Example complaints

“My left tire blew out and I had no flat tire indicator on my dashboard while travelling full speed on the freeway. The next day my engine stalled with no warning of low/no oil in my car. Both of the issues could have caused a fatality or multiple fatalities when a 2012 vw CC luxury just stops with no warning. I have called vw corporate and of course they stated they cannot help me since this repair is not a recall item: however, I see tons of complaints regarding the 2.0 engine in my car manufactured by vw. This matter needs to be resolved immediately and not ignored. …”

NHTSA complaint #10924312, filed 2016-11, 70,000 miles“This letter is a follow up to a verbal complaint I filed with Volkswagen customer care. On may18th 2011, the right front wheel on my 2012 vw CC shattered as I drove down interstate 95 as it passes thru the town of greenwich. My concern is focused on the safety of the wheel design and my belief that the over inflation of the tires contributed to rim failure. The incident occurred at approximately 10am on that day there were no visible defects in the road and the car that pulled over behind me confirmed the absence of any large potholes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10405229, filed 2011-06, 3,000 miles“Volkswagen recalled certain model year 2012, CC vehicles, for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicles safety standard no. 138, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Vehicle in question currently is experiencing an issue with this system. Volkswagen should extend this recall to this vehicle and others like it. Specifically the TPMS sensor will not detect pressure in tires after tire replacement or rotation and there is no way to reset system.”
